Summary: Economics primer with a right-wing bias
Review: As others have written, this text is reasonably well-written and organized. However, it has a clear bias, presenting and defending a right-wing agenda. For example:*Taxes, unions, environmental protection, transfer payments are bad.
*School vouchers, social security reform to presonal retirement accounts, medical savings accounts are good ideas. Of course I oversimplify (slightly), but whatever side of these and other issues one might fall, it's pretty clear that the other side is given short shrift. A minor beef I had with this text is that too many of its examples cater to the college student.

Summary: When did textbooks become so interesting?
Review: I concur with the other reviewers...this is one textbook that is worth every dollar. The authors use color and layout so well in their instruction...a wonderful feature since economics, even with all its fancy graphs, can be very boring. The text is even engaging. It's a bookshelf staple for anyone who is interested in economics, student or not.

Summary: Well written and interesting
Review: If you are interested in economics, you should add this book to your personal library. This book is very well written (almost lively). It covers macro, micro and international economics in a very interesting way. A very good introductory economics book that will also refresh even the advanced readers.

Summary: Very well written
Review: This book will make you love economics. It covers both microeconomics and macroeconomics. It also explains how monetary policy and fiscal policy affects the economy. Some of the reasonings are counter intuitive however the authors provide very good examples to illustrate their point. I gained a very good understanding of aggregate demand and supply and how they get affected because of fiscal and monetary policy, employment, economic growth, taxes, trade tariffs, exports, imports, and other factors.

Summary: One of the few good books
Review: This is absolutely a good book not only for beginners, but for advanced readers as well. The book does a good job giving a general idea of the economic forces introducing the reader to a variety of subjects with detailed explanations. Some of the ideas are repetitive through the book, however. I found the applications at the end of the book very helpfull - something other books dont have.
